The story

Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver

Produced by the nonprofit CherryArts and marking 35 years in 2026, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival transforms Denver's Cherry Creek North streets into one of the country's largest juried outdoor art shows. Patrons purchase roughly 4.6 million dollars in original art each year, while some 150,000 attendees browse hundreds of artist booths alongside music and food.

Denver's Cherry Creek North neighborhood is known for upscale shopping and dining most of the year, but for one weekend each summer its streets close to traffic and fill instead with hundreds of juried artists presenting original work directly to buyers.
